History

Zero Tasking Day was created by Nancy Christie, an author and blogger who believed in living life to the fullest. She taught people to prioritize spiritual values over material ones and to do things well instead of doing many tasks. Psychologists also support the day as it helps manage anxiety and worries. It is also noted that according to nationality, culture, and gender, people have different amounts of “free time.” In general, men have 5 more hours of free time per week than women.
